Haze is based loosely on the Media RapidWeaver theme, but is intended as a lighter version without support for drop-down menus and some of the other advanced features. This makes Haze a really simple, robust, general purpose RapidWeaver theme which would be ideal for blogs, educational and smaller business websites. A subtle colour scheme and formal typography give this theme a professional appearance. Aspects like the banner container can have their height changed and you can build-in your own bespoke images. The simple block navigation links and sidebar content can be floated either left or right in varying dimensions. Settings also exist to customise the body background, font styles and theme colours. For advanced users, Haze includes 8 Extra Content containers, the option of a RapidSearch search bar and dozens of extra CSS code snippets.

Haze uses an HTML5 Doctype and has been confirmed to work in IE7, IE8, IE9, Safari, Opera, Chrome and Firefox. The theme performs well on devices like the iPad and iPhone, and also plays nicely with a wide variety of RapidWeaver page style plugins. Haze also incorporates some extended album page style settings.
